Stellar offensive line remains the center of attention on the Rams offense

As of Week 3 of the preseason, Sean McVay’s new look Rams squad has been everything that fans could’ve hoped for, peaking during Week 2’s preseason win over the Oakland Raiders – in which much of the first-team offense excelled against a formidable group of defenders.

Jared Goff had never looked better than he did in that first half, and while that’s a credit to him, it was also hard not to see the enormous impact of the offensive line on his ability to perform. Goff had a clean pocket on a inordinate number of snaps, and the space and time allowed him to deliver the ball almost at will.

“I think just as a whole, they’ve really worked together,” Goff said of his o-line. “They’re starting to jell, and I think you saw that last Saturday. The Oakland defensive line is no slouch. They’ve got some dudes over there, and they did a great job keeping them away and giving me a good pocket. It wasn’t just throw it and get hit; it was clean the whole night. It was. No one really around me.”

Per Pro Football Focus, the Rams’ first-team offensive line allowed just three pressures on 109 pass-blocking attempts, which is an efficiency that would’ve been unfathomable eight months ago as the Rams plodded through one of the worst offensive seasons in the NFL in recent memory.

If they are as good in the regular season as they appear to be right now, there’s no question that the Rams offense could have one of the most impressive turnarounds in franchise history.
